Se connecterI had been on a business trip overseas for less than six months when I suddenly received a call from the hospital. "Mr. Jones, your wife is having a difficult labor. Should we proceed with a C-section or try to continue with a natural delivery?" The words hit me like a bolt of lightning. I stood there, frozen. When I left, my wife had not shown any sign of pregnancy. How could she be giving birth less than six months later? I quickly dialed her number. The moment the call connected, I heard her cries of pain. "Honey, what's wrong?" From the other end of the line, I could hear a nurse urging her to push harder. However, my wife forced her voice to sound calm. "Sweetheart, I just slipped and fell a moment ago. It's nothing serious. You should keep focusing on your business trip. Don't worry about me." As I listened, the faint sound of a baby crying filtered through the phone. My grip tightened so hard around the phone that it nearly cracked. "Is that so? Then, get some rest," I said calmly. After hanging up, I immediately called my father, the richest man in the country. "Dad, Rebecca's cheating on me. She's in the delivery room right now, having another man's child. Stop all investments in the Harris family immediately. I want her thrown out with nothing to her name."

I can't live without you. Please, let's stop this madness and come back! The company's falling apart, the employees are quitting, and the patients' families are in an uproar. I can't handle it alone. I need you.][Honey, we built this company together. Will you really stand by and watch it crumble? Come back and help me out! Talk to your dad about the investment. With all the money your family has, why fuss over a little investment?]I saw her pleas and did not hesitate to hit block and erase her number.The divorce was another matter I left to my dad's lawyer. It was a straightforward case; the papers were ready in a month.Rebecca had been unfaithful first, so the divorce was a slam dunk for me. She tried every trick in the book to reach me, but I never gave her the s
Rebecca's face contorted with anger, and she asked, her voice shaking, "What? The Joneses are the top dogs in wealth? You've got to be pulling my leg, teaming up with them to fool me, right? How else could I be clueless about this?"They were beside themselves with worry."Ms. Harris, if you don't buy it, come see for yourself! The Joneses have their fingers in every pie across the country, from real estate to electronics and household goods. They even had a stake in Harris Group. However, they've pulled out their investment just now. You must've heard the news!"That was when Rebecca had to face the music.Patrick and Nancy were gobsmacked, their eyes nearly popping out as they stared at our whole family in utter disbelief.Rebecca, meanwhile, ripped up the divorce papers she was holding and ran over to my dad, her face full of regret."Dad, so you're the big cheese! Why didn't you tell me sooner? I was blind to your greatness. Please don't hold my past mistakes against me! But
Rebecca quickly pulled up the trending posts online, and right there at the top was a video of Marvin performing a surgery three months earlier.He was in the middle of everything when a phone call came through. Without a second thought, he bolted, leaving everyone else to fend for themselves. The patient almost did not make it out of surgery alive, and when the family confronted him for answers, he just called the cops and had them hauled away for causing trouble.Then, there was Marvin, caught on video in a hospital affair with a nurse, and it went viral.The netizens lost their minds. Some even dug up Marvin's home address and phone number, which, to my horror, was the very house Rebecca and I had made our home after getting married.It all clicked; they had been shacking up the moment I was out of the country on business.Watching those two, a scoundrel and a cheat, I was seething. The scandal did not just hit them; it rocked the whole hospital. The big shots ordered a full-sc
It was my dad. He looked solemn as he gave my shoulder a reassuring pat.Nearby stood my mom, and to my surprise, my maternal grandparents, Grandma Helen and Grandpa Wilson, and a whole bunch of relatives had shown up.The knot of worry in my chest finally loosened, and I could not help but cough up blood.Those security guards had really done a number on me, leaving a dull pain in my chest.My mom guided me to a nearby chair and gave me a pill, which made me start to feel a bit better.Grandma Helen and my paternal grandmother, Grandma Susan, with tears in their eyes, were fussing over me."There, there, you've been through a lot. Let me blow on it, and the pain will go away," Grandma Susan said, trying to sooth me."I'm sorry. I should've visited sooner. No one would've dared to pick on you then. Just wait, your Grandpa Wilson will take care of those guys," Grandma Helen promised.Rebecca looked overwhelmed by the crowd at first, but then she sneered."Daniel, aren't you a b
